So an opinion has to be based on facts and nothing else? If I said it was my opinion that someone was an asshole, what kind of data could I possibly use to back that up? 'Asshole' is a subjective term, just like 'bias' so how would you quantify with data that someone is actually an asshole? What if your idea of what an asshole is differs slightly than what my definition would be? How could we possibly have any data that would prove either way whether or not the person was indeed an asshole?
I may have a more rigid definition of what I consider to be biased, where as yours may less rigid, so its possible that what I consider to be biased, you may not. It would be just as difficult, if not impossible, to prove, unequivocally, that bias exists anywhere in any form, as it would be difficult to prove, unequivocally that someone is an asshole.
